This will be a quick tut on making a nice prompt in OpenBSD, for this tutorial I will be using OpenBSD 5.1 and rxvt-unicode.Note: the things used in this tutorial or strictly for easier learning purposes, I do not use the programs personally.

Since cat will be printing this it will make a nice effect with my cowsay image, doing this you can make a nice image /W text that matches your color scheme or maybe just matches what you want.

Now that we have our .bashrc lined up we can now save and see the things we have added, if you have done everything correctly you should now get a custom PS1 with a custom cowsay colorized to your perfection. You should also now have a colorized ls output since we installed "colorls". Here is our finished prompt:note: Your terminal colors may vary(due to your .Xdefaults).

Final Prompt:The Prompt/cowsay is on the right, the colorized ls is on the left.

I hope you liked the tutorial, I encourage you all just to use this as a stepping stone and continue to customize to your needs. I would like to add that this should only be a SMALL part of your .bashrc, with more work you can add tons of other things to optimize the shell for your needs. I also do not use bash or nano, I use zsh and vim.
